Well, knowing Paul, the actor playing CarcassKing, personally, I can ask him and see what he says.
I’ve forwarded his excerpts in the strip onto him, and he’s been loving it – absolutely ROTFL and wondering why PJ and the guys didn’t script it this way – so much more believable, he thinks (being a Roleplayer himself) (:

It just occurred to me that the undead have the win in this one. They can’t be hurt since they can de-manifest any time they want, and they can plague the team until the three amigos beg them to leave. Imagine.

“resting”

DM “sorry, no sooner are you asleep than you are awakened by a sanity-blasting half-rotten corpse next to your face. It instantly vanishes as you give an involuntary shout, waking the others”.

“resting again then. Sheesh”

DM “sorry, no sooner are you asleep than you are awakened by a sanity-blasting half-rotten corpse next to your face. It instantly vanishes. Shouting. Waking up. Etc”.

“Is this going to happen all night?”

DM “Yes”

“It’s morning then”.

DM “Okeydoke. You are all fatigued. I’ll wait while you look it up in the book”

After a few nights like this, and some inventive cumulative modifiers, even Aragormless will be able to do the math.

CLASSIC. Undead ftw! Again the screencap-fu is of high quality. Shamus you rock!

I’ve had my gall bladder out, and it’s not fun, but at least they give you good drugs afterwards. My nurse gave me a nice injection of demoral immediatly after I woke up in recovery. I made sure to tell her “I love you” with my wife sitting next to me when she did it ;) You’ll be totally fine Shamus, but I’ll keep you in my thoughts :)

I swear Red Dwarf used this one in season five (Holoship, specifically)… A very obscure reference, but here it is.
Woman: No. No, I think I’m better off where I am.
Cat: But you’re dead!
Woman: And meeting you guys has really made me appreciate it a whole lot more.

I love how characters are so sure that the DM will not put anything in the game that could outright kill them, that they get a God complex. Just to deflate there egoes, you need to kill them once in a while.

I am reminded of a comic I saw once, can’t remember which one… but the scene was of a map, with something like “You Are Here” written in the middle and arrows pointing out in all directions. At the end of one of the arrows it said “Adventure.” At the end of every other arrow it said “Thar be dragons.”

I have a feeling it was a pretty well known comic and I ought to remember which one. ^^;

Lol! This sorta reminds me of a recent Shadowrun game when one of the players made a deal with a guy to not kill him if he released his hostage. After he did so and started walking off, the player reminded the bad guy that he only promised that HE wouldn’t kill him, he made no guaruntees about the rest of us…

I had my gall bladder removed last year and it was a breeze compared to my hernia repair surgery. I was in the hospital for only one night and I got three more scars to go with the other five I already had (I asked him to try to cut in the same places but they obviously ignored me. The nerve of those doctors!). Anyway, good luck and take the opportunity to get lots of rest (maybe some extra strips, nudge nudge wink wink)!
Awesome strip, as always!

Gall Bladder surgery, as things-which-cause-you-to-be opened-up-with-tools go, is fairly routine, and the recovery is pretty quick. You could be on your feet in no time at all, just watch the fatty foods later on.

It’s always a shame when a good organ goes bad. To think, Shamus’s gall bladder is a stoner. And it comes from such a proud GI tract, too. Well, I blames the owner… Spent too much time worrying about his stomach & colon if ye ask me! Acry for attention, that’s what it is!
